Large shareholders buying on the market

On-market acquisitions in large-shareholding reports, last 12 months, one row per holder, company and report. These are 5% shareholders, mostly funds; they are not company insiders. The reports state no price.

Why there is no score

• Directors and officers report their trades in their own company's shares to the Local Finance Bureau (Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, Article 163). The reports are not published on EDINET, so there is no public record to score.
• Large-shareholding reports (大量保有報告書) are public on EDINET. Anyone holding more than 5% files one, and a change report for every further change of 1 percentage point or more, listing the trades of the last 60 days. Most filers are funds and companies, not insiders.
• Annual securities reports state each officer's holding at the year end. That is a holding, not a trade.
